Duesenberg Starplayer TV - Black Velvet

Step into the void with the Duesenberg Starplayer TV Black Velvet, part of Duesenberg’s limited Velvet Series—a sleek, matte-finished evolution of their legendary semi-hollow design. Crafted in Germany with meticulous precision, this instrument blends vintage soul with modern innovation and is wrapped in a deep Black Velvet satin finish that absorbs light like the vastness of space. Unlike the classic gloss Starplayer TV, the Black Velvet offers a soft, satin texture that feels smooth, understated, and infinitely elegant. The matte surface enhances the natural contours of the arched spruce top and flame maple back, creating a look that’s equal parts Art Deco and dark matter. Gold hardware gleams like distant starlight against the deep, velvety black—making this model as visually striking as it is sonically powerful. At the heart of the Velvet Series lies the revolutionary Split/King Duo-Coil pickups—a Duesenberg innovation that gives you true single-coil and true humbucker tones in one elegant package. These aren’t standard coil-splits; each Split/King houses a genuine single-coil paired with a fine-tuned secondary coil. With a flick of the mini-toggle switch, you can travel seamlessly between shimmering clarity and full-bodied punch. It’s like having four distinct pickups under your command, ready to explore new sonic galaxies. Every Duesenberg is engineered for stellar playability, and the Starplayer TV Black Velvet is no exception. The Plek’d maple neck ensures perfectly leveled frets for low action and effortless bends, while the Z-Tuners keep everything locked in tune with space-age precision. The Diamond Deluxe Tremola delivers buttery-smooth vibrato and reliable stability, making this Starplayer a trusted companion for any musical mission. The Starplayer TV Black Velvet is the sound of midnight in motion—rich, dynamic, and endlessly expressive. With its dual-personality pickups and stealthy matte finish, it’s both a statement piece and a serious performer.
